Hi David, <<It seems the world will be reverting to normal ... >> Yup, but it all will be, as it always had been, relative. Our issue is a simple one, 'how to remain on the correct side of relative'. My guess is many Americans will also rediscover gold, as had the Thai, Koreans, Russians, Turks, Brazilians, ... My paper gold is for sale at the right prices. The more right the price, the more is for sale. Chugs, Jay

Actually, CD, the normal state is NOT a few rich and many poor. The normal state is a normal distribution [more or less], with people centred around the peak of the bell curve. Of course a few rich people do really well, because the nature of being really smart is to do really well. A bit like humans, being really smart, do really well compared with other living things. A few rich humans [only about 6 billion] basically own the world and all other species are subordinate to them, even being eaten if delicious enough. Such is nature. Even our cuzzie bros, chimps, gorillas, orangutan, bonobos, baboons and other primates are given short shrift and are lucky to survive the human onslaught, being kept in reservations and gawped at by tourists. There is no longer a geographic separation of humans, so the division into separate species which started with the diaspora to the various continents over the last 20,000 years has come to a halt and the reintegration due to rapid migratory choices and mating selections has put paid to separate "racial purity". Given enough time, the various human races [Americas, Australians, Africans, Central Asians] might have separated enough to become separate species, but there's no chance of that now. We're one big, happy, family again, after 20,000 years of diaspora. The happy families around the world have just had a traditional Xmas family gathering for a family fight. Now, it's off to 2004 ...
